Reminds me of a science fiction story. A regular type guy happens to look like a big star. The star sues the regular guy for copywrite infringement

Two groups that love to say "Both sides are the same."
People on the Left who have given up hope.
People on the Right when they get caught being evil.
Nothing makes the Right happier than when someone on the Left says that there's no hope.
Look at NYC. The Dem candidate for Mayor is being threatened with deportation and arrest for being a Communist.
The fight isn't over until we give up.
I lived in New York City on 9/11/2001.
The Village Voice was a weekly 'alternative' newspaper that covered politics, culture, and the arts.
The pot smoking hippies ran dozens of predictions of what would happen. that included two cartoons.
One showed Dubya as Mickey Mouse. the sorcerer's apprentice was chopping up a broom that looked like Sadam, and getting a million little brooms that looked like bin Ladn. The other was a buddy cop movie where Sadam and bin-Ladn are forced to work together, and eventually learn from each other
Except that the rich know who to bribe with campaign contributions.
Look at Ronald Reagan. As an actor, he was not a giant star. Plenty of folks got a higher salary. Reagan lucked into a job as spokesman for General Electric, at the time one of the biggest companies in the world. Reagan hung out with the big shots and introduced them to his Hollywood buddies; in return he got stock tips and investment opportunities that made him rich.
You're middle class if you're still working for your money. You're rich when your money works for you.
A $5 million a year actor/athlete still has to work; they are also paying for their trainers, agents, dietitians, clothes etc. They are upper middle class.
A trust fund baby with an income of $1 million a year is the rich one. imho.
imho, it was Nixon who started America on this course. Nixon knew that the Vietnam War was unwinnable; he even ran in 1968 as a 'peace candidate.' He also knew that massive bombing would mean that the US steel mills would be working 24/7 and that would be great for the Unions and owners. All he had to do was pay for it with paper money, because he didn't want to raise taxes.
It makes shipping easier. Packing a bunch of different sized bottles into a single carton is a mess.
When I was a kid, the worst playground insult was calling someone a 'J@p,' because only a yellow bastard would pull a sneak attack like Pearl Harbor.
Tojo must be smiling in Hell.
